Can you try v3.11? I have a menu system based off of menu/simple.c that 
is working fine, other then some submenus get displayed in funky 
locations. I have avoided upgrading as some significant updates were 
made to the code, which I believe requires the use of Python / Templates 
to generate the menus [pre-compile]. (I don't know if this is true, I 
honestly haven't looked yet. It's on my todo list, but fairly low)

P.S. I am running the v3.11 menu with v3.63 isolinux/pxelinux.
